Cumberland County alumni scholarship formed

RALEIGH, N.C. - A scholarship specifically for Campbell Law students hailing from Cumberland County, N.C. has been crafted, and The Richardson Firm of Fayetteville, N.C. provided the idea as well as the founding contribution. The Cumberland County Law School Alumni Endowed Scholarship was formally announced by Matt Richardson on May 16 during a Cumberland County alumni reception hosted by The Richardson Firm.

Following the initial donation, the law school is now seeking the support of other alumni and friends in the Cumberland County area to support this initiative. Once fully funded, the scholarship will provide one or more annual scholarships to a student from Cumberland County.

More than 50 Campbell Law graduates and friends of the law school gathered at The Richardson Firm reception for updates on the law school and to network with fellow alumni.

To help support the Cumberland County Law School Alumni Endowed Scholarship please contact Campbell Law Director of Development Trudi Brown at brownt@law.campbell.edu or 919-865-5977.
